Why does the frequency of a wave decrease as the wavelength increases?

1 answer:

6 0

Because the product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave speed. Since their product can't change, then obviously if one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction.

A cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,

vfiekz [6]

The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
$J=F \Delta t$
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
$J=\Delta p$
If we put the two equations together, we find
$F \Delta t= \Delta p$
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
$\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s$

Your car's speedometer works in much the same way as its odometer, except that it converts the angular speed of the wheels to a

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Speed will be 30810 rpm

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the tire d = 24 inch

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12imch$

We have given linear velocity v = 35 mph

We know that linear velocity is given by $v=\omega r$

$35=\omega \times 12$

$\omega =\frac{35}{12}\times \frac{63360}{60}=3080rad/min$

As we know that 1 mile = 63360 inch and 1 hour = 60 min

Explain how the extension of a spring is determined

fgiga [73]

Answer:

For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed

X = v xo t. x = (10.0 m/s)(3.53 s) x = ????

LenaWriter [7]

x = V<em>x</em> * t

given V<em>x</em> = 10m/s n t = 3.53s

x = 10 * 3.53

= 35.3m
